The kitties are just begging to be turned into LOL cats. Please, someone, give the poor kitties some captions.

I love hovercat from #17 and #23.

LOL. Now the kitty ping list is triple pinging.

Ain’t technology grand?

One of my favorite reactions from customers is the one where they go, ignore the cat, he/she doesn’t like strangers, and is shy, wellll, that is strange...., normally he disappears when people come over, and he never lets them pet him...

Looks like these are just community cats rather than family cats.

It's not rare for a cat that is allowed to roam, to adopt two families, and "commute".

And considering all the hovercats, their own Air Force.

Well back in MY day if we wanted to triple ping we had to go get some carbon paper and make three copies with that, then we had to take them to the post office, buy 3 stamps and mail them to the same address. And we LIKED it.

Back in MY day we had what was called a “mimeograph” machine where you stood and hand cranked a big drum until a “copy” of your letter soemhow emerged on a sort of wet, blue-tinted piece of film.

We didn’t even THINK of triple pinging.

Beautiful kitties there. BTW, my uncle gives money to help take care of the cats at the Coliseum in Rome. He went there on vacation and he fed the kitties while over there. I also remember when he had a Himalayan cat, “Himmee,” he loved him so much, When Himmee passed on, he was so bummed out, he was in a funk for over a month or more. I know the feeling.

Great pics, especially the “Peeping Tom” in #45 although they are all fantastic.

I saw a cat for the first time 50 years ago and have been fascinated with these little rascals ever since then.

Ha! That smell came involuntarily right back into my brain when I google-searched for that picture of a mimeograph.
